Default looking for an idiom

Hi, there!
May I ask you a slightly unusual question?
There is an idiom in my native language. It could be translated into English literally as “Friday comes seven times a week” or “Seven Fridays a week” (I’m not sure). We say that about a person who frequently changes his decisions or opinion.
I wonder, if there’s in English any expression for such kind of behavior?
Thanks!
:)

Here are a couple.

For a person:
"He was as changeable as a chameleon."

For opinions:
"His opinions were as changeable as the weather."

His mind was as changeable as spring weather.
